Add a little extra cuteness to chilly days with the Boo-Boo Beanie, an adorable crochet baby hat featuring a sweet bear-inspired design. With its little ears, contrasting snout, embroidered face, and cozy ribbed brim, this playful beanie is sure to make an irresistible addition to a baby’s handmade wardrobe.

The pattern includes instructions for two sizes: 0–6 months and 6–12 months and uses KnitPal Cotton to the Core weight #3 yarn with a 3 mm crochet hook. The beanie is worked in the round with a textured front- and back-post crochet brim, then finished with separately crocheted ears and snout.

Black cotton yarn is used to embroider the bear’s nose, mouth, and sleepy little eyes, giving Boo-Boo Beanie its lovable personality without the need for buttons or safety eyes.
